KUALA LUMPUR: The Saudi Arabian royal family has never issued any official statement to deny that the funds channelled into Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s personal bank account were not a donation, the High Court heard.

Najib, 71, testified that the lack of denial from the royal family bolstered his belief that the funds he received were legitimate donations.
